Pip managed to smash the dog gate but fortunately I had a roll of duct tape and some metal rods to splint it with.

There is no joy in Redmond Microsoft got some more bad news today: Intel is porting Android 2.2, née Froyo, to the x86 architecture.… [From Intel preps x86 Android for summer release]

Saw The Brothers Bloom today. It was a little slow in parts, and the plot wasn’t entirely clear. But I did recognise most of the locations in Prague which was neat. It’s always fun to recognise the locations in a movie or TV show.

WordPress 3.0 was released today so I upgraded this blog to use it. Needless to say I ignored all the instructions and then it didn’t entirely go smoothly. I had to ftp in and manually fiddle with things to get it working. It all seems to be going now

A while back my desk drawer fell off in a shower of ball bearings. I had to keep papers in a cardboard box on the floor. Today my replacement drawer runners arrived and I fitted them.

Mrs Wife bought a new 30l Brabantia bin from Amazon as they had them half price and the 20l bin was just too small. It arrived next day (Prime) in a large box.

My SKY HD DVR needs to be rebooted every day or it develops issues like not recording things. To avoid the hassle of digging around in the cable mess behind the home theatre I plugged it into a RC socket so I could reboot it by remote control.
However remembering to do that every day was a bit of a pain so today I swapped in a timer switch to reboot the box at 6AM every day (a time I’m never recording anything at anyway). Lets see if I got that set up right

Luther and Fringe both had their season finales on HD channels last night. Luther ended on a neat cliffhanger and Fringe had a typical JJ Abrams style twistiness (although I don’t know how much he actually contributed to the ep). Looking forward to the return of both – in the case of Luther that remains to be decided.

The dogs are walked; I’ll eat a Scotch Egg and pour a Guinness and settle down to watch the final two episodes ever of 24. Will it improve on the run of poor endings I’ve seen?
Later
That wasn’t bad.
